Welcome to Venice's Dubai Water Canal.

See a city in the midst of one of the world’s greatest urban transformations as it launches the Dubai Water Canal, a 3.2km long waterway which winds its way to the Arabian Gulf from the Creek in Old Dubai through Business Bay. Along its waterfront, the W Hotel, the St Regis and a whole range of new lifestyle precincts. The new path effectively turns a significant part of the emirate into an island.

A new attraction opened to the public in Dubai to unwind and spent time with family and friends. As we explored the whole site, The Canal itself is a sight to behold. The 3.2km extension ranges 80 to 120m in width and cuts through Dubai’s main artery, the Sheikh Zayed Road, across Safa Park and into the residential Jumeirah district, connecting with the Arabian Gulf. This adds 6.4km of waterfront to the emirate and creates 80,000 sqm for public space and facilities, plus a 3km running track and 12km cycling path.

They also have a mechanical waterfall where the water canal meets the Sheikh Zayed Road Bridge. his motion-operated water wonder pumps water through the bridge in a constant flow, visible from the promenade, and can be switched off when a sensor detects a boat passing by.

Wifi is also provided throughout the promenade and it has 5 marine stations served by RTA's waterbus, water taxi, Dubai Ferry and a station for all the private yachts where visitors can enjoy exploring the beauty of Water Canal. Don't worry Dubai Water Canal is planning to Build a Shopping Mall with hundreds of retail shops and restaurants to ensure the happiness of every visitors.

I enjoyed in visiting the water Canal and my friends also did. I recommend everyone to come and visit the Dubai Water Canal during Afternoons, Sunsets and at Night. Don't worry, there are hundreds of parking space where you can park your car and it's free! By using public transport, you can ride the Dubai Metro and head down in Business Bay Station and it's easy to access the promenade.
